I'm really worried because I've been dealing with breathing issues and pain in my left chest and shoulder for the past four years. I had a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Why am I still experiencing these symptoms? Should I be concerned, or are there other tests I should consider to get to the bottom of this?

I'm dealing with pretty bad eosinophilia post nasal drip, and I've been taking a combination of meds including Pulmoclear, azithromycin, Norvent D syrup, Duolin Forte inhaler, Hetrazan, and some mucaine gel syrup for the last three days. I'm still coughing nonstop, day and night, and it's really affecting my sleep and appetite. I'm worried and not sure if I'm on the right track with the treatment or if there's something else I should be doing. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I could possibly do to feel better?

re evaluate your medications and monitor eosinophil count

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
